6112's are starting to move into the more serious offroad area. If that is your gig then I would consider them over the Eibachs. Generally people run the 5160's in the rear with those. They don't add anything except cooling from the reservoirs over the 5100's. They are about equivalent to the Eibach Reservoirs. If none of that means anything to you then I would just go with which ever you can get cheaper.
I mean compares to 6112/5100 kit (No rear coils, only shocks), it offers rear coils too. But I think 6112 shocks is better than the shocks in stage 1.
I like that the Eibach kit comes with rear coils, so I can get about a 1-inch lift in the rear. However, I know the Bilstein 6112 shocks are better than the shocks included in the Eibach Stage 1 kit. In terms of ride quality, I actually prefer Eibach.
What is the weight rating on the coils? You may not want them.
I actually don't know. I have a bed rack and RTT on my bed.
Ooh. Then you really need to know that.
Let me figure it out.
The stage 2 will be a much better option for many reasons. 6112s will ride stiff on road and bumps will be jarring but will ahve better hugher speed offroad performance.
I bought Stage 2 yesterday. How much lift you have for your front and rear?
Nice!! And I am.set to about 2.6" in the front. The rear gives 1"
Thanks I know you have 35X12.5 tires. I wanted to do 2inch lift (Which is the preset for stage 2 front shocks) for the front, just a level for now. Do you think I can fit 35X11.5? Or 295/65/20?
6112s are solid. Biggest difference between them and the Eibachs is their response to speed and terrain. Bilstein tend to feel more sporty. And tend to respond better at high speeds. The Eibachs having more plush feel. And soak up the road better at lower speeds. If you're doing a lot of high-speed off-roading and or going with a heavier wheel tire setup (100lbs+ per corner) I would go with the 6112s. If you're going to be mainly staying on road or maybe some light off-roading (fire lanes, trails) and a lighter wheel tire (under 100lbs) Then Eibachs are good.
